Left Bank Bubbles

It was billed as ``An Evening on the Left Bank,`` an event featuring three levels of entertainment at Helene Curtis` art deco building fronting the Chicago River. Last week`s benefit for the Urban Gateways Arts Center treated guests, including French Consul Max de Calbiac and his wife, Bianca, to scenes from Shakespeare`s ``A Midsummer Night`s Dream`` and French songs from Valucha de Castro.

During a buffet dinner, the jazz tunes of ``Bach to Bebop`` entertained guests, some of whom arrived in `20s attire. Shakespearean actor Tom Tresser captured diners` attention with his delivery of lines from ``Romeo and Juliet``: ``It is my lady. It is my love.`` --
